Abstract

At present, the degree of aging is deepening, and there are problems such as "getting old before getting rich" and "getting old before getting ready". The happiness of the elderly has become a key issue for scholars, and improving the well-being of the elderly has also become a serious challenge facing our country. In recent years, researchers have proposed that the happiness of the elderly in rural areas in our country is lower than that of the elderly in urban areas, but most studies take the elderly in urban areas as the subject of subjective well-being, and few studies focus on the subjective well-being of the elderly in rural areas. Studying the influencing factors of the well-being of the elderly in rural areas can inspire the society to pay attention to the material and spiritual needs of the elderly in rural areas. Based on the CHARLS 2015 national tracking survey data, research the influence of demographic characteristics, health status, intergenerational relationship, economic status, and social factors on the emotional well-being of the elderly in rural Shaanxi Province, and put forward countermeasures and suggestions to improve the emotional well-being of the elderly in rural areas of Shaanxi Province.
